What if faith isn't pretending everything is okay?

In this episode, we take a deep look at Hebrews 11 and discover that biblical faith is not positive thinking, emotional certainty, or pretending life isn't hard. Through the lives of Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and others, we'll see that faith is trusting God's character even when we don't fully understand His plans. Together, we'll learn that faithfulness isn't measured by outcomes- but by continued trust in a faithful God.

Key Verses

Cross References

-Hebrews 10:35-39

-What would it look like to trust God's character even when I don't understand His plan?

What if the most overlooked details in the story of Judas are actually the most important?

In this episode, we continue tracing the story of the thirty pieces of silver by exploring the potter, the temple, and the field purchased for strangers. Together, we'll discover why these details were included in Scripture, how they connect to Old Testament prophecy, and what they reveal about God's plan of redemption for outsiders.

Key Verses

Reflection

Where have I felt like an outsider?

Do I believe God's redemption extends even to people like me?

What broken places in my life need to be placed in the Potter's hands?

How does this story change the way I view God's ability to redeem painful circumstances?

What does the potter's field teach me about God's heart for the overlooked and forgotten?

Final Reminder

Judas saw a field.

The religious leaders saw a place to bury strangers.

But God saw something bigger.

A field purchased with the price of the rejected Shepherd.

A place for outsiders.

A reminder that redemption was never meant for a select few.

Because the Gospel is the story of God bringing near those who were once far away.
